UK, Ireland / "Strange " English language.. [264]

I am still in a deep state of shock after the leek riddle. Amasing it has taken you so much time!

Reminds me of natives who don`t associate Warsaw with war although they sound so similar.

PF members certainly need more practice.

Here you are: what is the food word in wrongly spelled DREAM ???

Could read leer or equally beer

Beer is out of question in primary school while leer is a mistake.
Come on, guys and gyesses, guess it at last coz I am experiencing a huge trauma now. :(:(:(:(

I see:

Maf, don`t believe your eyes now!!! Use your intuition!

hmmm since when is 'beer' food? especially in elementary school?

Twice exactly!!!

Now, what is the spelling mistake which altered the meaning completely ???

Guys and guyesses, I must admit I am flabbergasted you still can`t guess it after so many clues and being so close as you already are. The easiest riddles are the most difficult it seems. :):):)

You can only replace the 'b' in beer

Do not focus on b so much. Try other letters. I said there is a clear spelling mistake, while you concentrate on carelessly written letters.

And think of PC all the time!!!!

if it's not veer or leer.

And think of foods all the time, too!

Are we still talking about the word beer?

Yes,we are.
Except it is not beer. :):):)

Hint: Do you know British political correctness?? Yes, you do. Think about Polish one for a while. :):):)

Anna Walentynowicz

No. Her red hair suggests she is Maja Komorowska, a famous actress who belonged to the circle of female celebrities supporting Lech Wałęsa and Solidarity.

Language / Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation [1756]

Is the meaning a dedication? As in for those who came before and did the hard work to make things easier?

No, it isn`t a metaphor. It is simply a toast by drinking people used in early communist times. The toast was for peasants who together with workers and working intelligentsia best represented the Polish nation then. :):):)

The toast was ironic mockery, of course - drinkers who uttered it had the peasant class in deep disregard. :):):)

In Polish - za tych co nam orzą!

We will end up destroying ourselves

Hey, your pessimism throws me down into the dumps even further now! Why are you doing it to me????? :):)

should be a 'z' instead of the 'c' after the 'r in

No, it is z interconnected with r.
Besides, if it was c, it still wouldn`t be major. :):):)

I presume 'Letis' is to show pronunciation of lettuce.

Of course. It is called the phonetic transcript. :):):)

Vegetables is spelt incorrectly.

No, it isn`t. Look closer - the mistake has been corrected. :):)

Wow! My riddle is hard. :):):)

PS. Hint - a major mistake means the one which changes the meaning of the word. :):):)

News / Good news: Poland's PiS to rule at least 12 years -- Morawiecki [91]

Rightist ex Prime Minister Morawiecki is a bad Pole. He has taken part in the anti European pro Putinist conference organised in Hungarian Budapest by pro Russian Prime Minister Orban. Morawiecki praised Orban for his attitude. What a shame!

No wonder that Mr Honourable Donald Reverend Tusk commented: Is it stupidity or treason??? Holy words....

Morawiecki, shame on you. Why don`t you move to Russia and settle there if you hate Poland and Europe so much???

Why are PiS rightists such antiPolish scum???

I didn't choose that one because I knew it was the more well-known monument.

Again I must say how clever it is. :):):

The inscription reads ' Los nasz dla was przestrogą.' Let our fate be a warning to you. Very chilling.

Yes, chilling, but we know how useless are such inscriptions coz humans perpetuate the same horrid things endlessly.

One from me:

Primary school student`s notebook shows food vocabulary. What is the major spelling mistake he/she made copying the words from the black/greenboard???
Hint - by major I mean a really serious one!!!

How are your plastering skills?

They are fine. :):) However, I noticed an unusual phenomenon. When I do plastering for a client, like in the US decades ago, I do my best and achieve excellent results. When for myself, then I don`t care so much. Strange. :):)

It's called overthinking

Yes, that is my problem. The race of thoughts, most pessimistic.

Maybe this tree should be cut down?

I will never do it to a living tree. Forget it.

Life / The climate for gardening in Poland [340]

almost all fruit trees need cross pollinated from one or more similar species

Amasing comment coz a day or two ago you said that most cultivated fruit trees are self pollinating.

Let me be honest for a while - I find it difficult to discuss those issues with you coz you contradict yourself much too often. :):):)

Sorry, forgive me this sincerity but I don`t have time for such silly games. I have to plough, sow and plant before it is too late. :):):)

I still maintain

You can maintain your opinion in Ireland. But it doesn`t hold too much water in Poland. :):):)
Thank you.

.... and nothing. :):):)

Ha, I got it by googling concrete monument dome inscription. It is a mausoleum to honour the victims of Majdanek death camp killed by Germans during WW2.

I didn`t know it coz there is another more spectacular monument in the same place which is more popular in encyclopedias and media:

I am still glad they are minor repairs.

I wonder when the walnut tree growing next to the house will be struck by a lightning or broken by strong winds and will fall onto the roof, smashing it completely.

Shyt, why am I such a pessimist??? I hate it. :(:(:(

The structure bears an inscription devastating

So this is a monument........

which I made sure wasn't visible in this particular photo

Clever move. :):)

I am starting to google for a concrete monument which looks like a dome with a tin roof....... :):):)

.... and nothing. :):):)
